Polyclonal antisera were raised against isolates of bean
common mosaic virus (BCMV) and bean common mosaic necrosis
virus (BCMNV) using conventional serological methods.
Infected tissues containing, respectively, 22 recognized BCMV
and BCMNV isolates were tested against the two antisera by
antigen-coated plate (ACP) ELISA and double antibody sandwich
(DAS) ELISA....
To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
Progenies of two bean crosses were studied for inheritance of resistance to dry root rot caused by Fusarium solani f. phaseoli. O.S.C. 22 (P. vulgaris) was used in both crosses as the susceptible parent. A Mexican line (P. vulgaris) and a line 2014 of the runner bean (P. coccineus) were...
